I enjoyed my time at UNCG. However, I'm a bit older than my classmates (26), and I feel like covid has taken a toll on the education system. I was in community college before covid, and it was much more difficult. There's not very much of a challenge anymore. Tests are all taken online and are extremely easy.

Overall I thought my education at UNCG was great! My professors were good, my classes were interesting, and the students are good. My only complaint was that I wish the art department offered a business class for artists. It feels a bit irresponsible to send art majors out into the world without any knowledge on how to build a sustainable practice/career.

I really enjoyed the culture and atmosphere. There was a diverse population of students, especially with the foreign exchanged program. I had a good experience with most, if not all, of my professors and found the classes to have a lot of content within their coursework. There were also a lot of opportunities to take classes like electives that were fun but tied in with general requirements.

UNCG offered their art students a variety of courses to choose from and although at the time I was not interested in taking that variety, I am glad I was required to. In the end I completed drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, and ceramics classes, as well as art history courses. Through this multi-pronged approach, I was well-prepared for my MFA in Photography and confident in my career to respectfully speak my mind and foster collaboration and innovation.
